I'm running an T2, but another racer is using the FK05. I need to get a second car set up, so I'll write down the settings and post here. I'll also check with the other racer using the FK05 and see what his set up is. I have talked with him, and believe our set up is pretty similar.

Here are some photos of the body I just painted. The stripes on top are paint. Had a bit of overspray in the front, but I figure that will get bashed in soon enough. Need to get it mounted and the wheels glued up so I can get a picture of the whole car!

I used Top Flite Monokote trim for the striping - purchased at my local Hobbytown USA. Here is a product link on Tower (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...SM&C=QAE&V=TOP). This trim comes as a 5" x 36" sheet with decent color selection - including chrome, is very thin, will bend ok around simple curves, and has decent adhesion.
What I did was cut the trim with an Exacto knife into a 2" wide piece to make the center stripe and 1/16" wide pieces for the side stripes. I masked the body with the trim, sprayed blue, removed the trim - cleaned some over-spray with body wash, and sprayed white.
In hindsight I probably could have just used the white trim on the inside (or outside) of the body instead of paint as it looked fine before I removed it. I have used the trim before on my F201 black plastic wings and it sticks okay if not overly abused. You can heat it up with a hair dryer/heat gun and it is easier to bend around corners. It also can be cleaned easily with body wash as it is designed to withstand fuel exhaust from r/c airplanes.
Another use that I've seen for the trim is wheel dots on pan cars. I plan on buying some black trim and will use a stencil to make my own car numbers. I might also use some of the white trim to replace the HPI white number circles as they are bit too opaque for my taste....hope this info helps.
